NOVEMBER 2016 I BOROMAG.COM I 53 Vegans also have a plethora of dishes to choose from including spicy garlic marinated eggplant, organic cauliflower in Tahini, sizzling Brussels sprouts and an eclectic mix of Mediterranean sides. Oh incorporated recipes she learned from her Egyptian fiance’s mother into the menu, including beet salad, a roasted red pepper dip and Mediterranean salad with organic tomato, cucumber and feta cheese. Korean barbecue joints typically serve large portions of meat with vegetable sides for $30 to $40. Oh decided to cut the portions in half so patrons can mix and match. Meat lovers can choose between two “sets” that include bulgogi, pork belly, pork jowl, ginger chicken thighs, grilled wild Spanish octopus, organic lemon garlic shrimp and more. Servers cook the meat for patrons using a down-draft system so the smoke is pulled from below. Oh wanted to show off the high ceilings in the space so she decided to forego installing ducts above the picnic-style wooden tables. There is also a vegan set option and all the meat offerings can be ordered as a la carte items. The meat is provided by Meat Dorks, a network of ranchers and butchers that deliver grass-fed beef and pasture-raised meats to restaurants across the country. Even the desserts are paleo-friendly and vegan. Watt Sriboonruang, a Muy Thai fighter and friend of Oh, wanted to create a dessert she could eat even when she was cutting weight. Rawsome Treats was born and the options are delicious. They include Trisome Berry Pie, a mixed berry-vanilla filling with a chocolate chip crust and dark chocolate drizzle, and Coconut Dream with cashews, coconut meat, agave, dates, dried coconut flakes, vanilla, Himalayan salt and coconut oil. Matcha fans can also order the Matchmisu pie and other options include Banana Cream Pie and TiRAWmisu – a cashew almond date sponge cake. All of the pies are dairy free, gluten free, soy free, vegan, paleo-friendly, 100 percent natural and contain no refined sugar. The Green Street LIC serves wine, beer and Korean liquors, many of which are organic. A self-serve breakfast menu is also available from 7 to 11 a.m. and lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oh hopes to open the 800-square-foot mezzanine for parties and extra seating soon and is also aiming to start a rooftop garden. She is also working with a 5Pointz artist to decorate the side of her restaurant with a red 7 train to give her space an “old LIC feel.” The Green Street LIC serves paleo-friendly Korean BBQ.
